Telgian’s High Pile Stock Requirements for Sprinkler Design NFPA13 Webinar will be held November 8

Phoenix, AZ, October 18, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Fire Smarts, in partnership with Telgian, provides a series of informative training webinars taught by Telgian fire protection experts who educate on specific areas of fire protection systems. Recent examples include introductory webinars on Emergency Communication Systems, Fire Safety and Extinguisher Use, and Fire Alarm System Communication.

The November 8 webinar, High Pile Stock Requirements for Sprinkler Design, is timely due to an increased demand for warehouses, as well as major changes to space usage. These situations both significantly affect how fire protection systems are designed. This growing complexity has resulted in proper storage becoming one of the most challenging fire protection design scenarios.

The webinar is based on NFPA 13, the industry benchmark for design and installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems. During the webinar, attendees will review the key decision points to consider when determining and applying an approved fire sprinkler design option for a specific storage application, and will cover such foundational questions as:

• What is being stored?
• How is it stored?
• How high is it stored?

Learning Objectives:

• Explain the design process for storage occupancies.
• Identify and classify commodities.
• Understand and apply the design approach options for storage occupancies.

CEUs: 1 contact hour
